High-Risk Pregnancy Care

A pregnancy may be considered high-risk due to various factors, requiring specialized care and monitoring. These factors include:

• Maternal age over 35 or under 17

• Pre-existing medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, heart disease)

• Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets or more)

• History of pregnancy complications or preterm labor

• Gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced hypertension

• Placenta issues (e.g., placenta previa)

• Fetal growth concerns or birth defects

• Certain infections or genetic conditions

• Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol use)
